This is the moment Nick Clegg showed Ed Miliband how to eat a bacon sandwich while live on air during a radio interview.

Labour leader Mr Miliband was mocked for being pictured struggling to eat a bacon sandwich at Covent Garden flower market in London this week.

But when the deputy PM paid a visit to the LBC Radio Station in London for his Call Clegg show today, presenter Nick Ferrari offered him a unique challenge.

He said: "Ed Miliband seemed to battle with his choice of breakfast, as I felt you needed a little bit of beefing up, I've brought you a bacon sandwich."

Mr Clegg protested: "I think this is very unfair because I don't think anyone looks very elegant. I thought it was a bit unfair on poor Ed Miliband."

He then promised 'just one bite' before scoffing with his mouth full: "It's very good."

The Lib Dem chief added: "I guarantee you if you were to eat the rest of it and I was to take thousands of pictures while you were doing it, I would manage to produce an unflattering one or two ones of you."
